Necrothatcher posted:To paraphrase Moore: they're all what if stories. It's clear the title is filling two critical roles here: First, and most importantly: prestige. This seems like a show that probably could have been made as its own intellectual property (none of the main characters are from the comic?), but no executive is putting their chips behind a superhero show without some sort of cultural cache. If buying the rights lets Lindelof make his superhero drama of choice, so be it. In fact, it probably gives him a bit more creative freedom to pull off things like that utterly fantastic opening scene. Second, and more interestingly: a universe/base of themes to build off. It's not hard to see how the show's gonna address the same basic question of how hosed up do things get if you try to make superheroes '"real," and I think its a great choice to essentially use the original Watchmen and their story in the same basic way the comic series treated the Minutemen. The Leftovers elevated itself to one of my top three favorite shows of all time once it stopped treating the source material as story and started treating it as background. The fact that Lindelof jumped immediately to that starting point has me INCREDIBLY high on the potential of this show. motherbox fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Oct 22, 2019 |

scary ghost dog posted:get this: hooded justice was black. dr manhattan is black now. the cops are superheroes, and the superheroes are supervillains. im very good at writing Regardless of what you think of the main plot, the Hooded Justice stuff was amazing and was 100 percent in the spirit of what the original comic did with the Charlton comics characters.
